Why is web filtering vital for education?
From tablets and interactive white boards to 1:1 computing and VR, inter-connected classroom devices continue to rise. This increase, however, poses a threat to classroom control, student focus, and therefore learning as a whole. With classroom focal points dispersed, it’s vital that teachers keep students on track. This is where web filtering comes in, and why we partner with leaders in school web filtering software, Lightspeed Systems.
What are the benefits of school web filtering software?
- Consolidate classroom device management into one intuitive dashboard giving teachers control of student focus
- Cloud-based control of every device, browser and app, including BYOD networks
- Only approved, appropriate content can be viewed, keeping students safe and syllabus-focused
- Mental health monitoring with alerts for cyber-bullying, self harm and depression detection
